ON JANUARY 1, 2013, THE US GOVERNMENT WILL BE REQUIRING EVERYONE TOHAVE DIRECT DEPOSIT FOR SS CHECKS.

WONDER WHY?

Subject: HR 4646

Watch for this AFTER the November elections; remember this BEFORE you VOTE.A 1% tax on all bank transactions is what HR 4646 calls for.

Do you receive a paycheck, or a retirement check from Social Securityor a pension fund and have it direct deposit??

Well guess what ... It looks as if the present administration wants totax it 1% !!! This bill was put forth by Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-PA). YES, that is 1% tax on all bank transactions - HR 4646, every time it goes in and every time money goes out.

Ask your congressperson to vote NO. FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!
